Family therapy takes a look at the "system" in which your family operates. Perceptions of children and communication styles of parents often create conflict and roadblocks to creating a healthy home environment and healthy relationships. Giving parents and children tools to create good communication can unlock hope and wholeness. Boundaries are very important in families, as well as parental unity.

Your family used to be happy, pleasant, and engaged, but now it's not. You have tried to fix it, but it only seems to be getting worse. I have worked with dozens of families helping them get back feeling connected, peaceful, and happy. By identifying each person's goals, validating each person's experience, and clarifying expectations I get families communicating effectively affirming each other, and feeling more connected. In order to get you family on track follow these simple steps: Step 1 - Set up an appointment. Step 2 - Share your concerns. Step 3 - Listen for insights. Do not let the distance and frustration rise to a breaking point. Schedule today and get your family back!

Family therapy looks at the entire family system—parents, children, extended family members—to identify strengths and problematic behaviours. I collaborate with families on strategies for utilizing their own capabilities for resolving problems, and on developing effective communication and problem-solving skills for preventing conflicts. I specialize in working with families of teenagers, which is an age that can be challenging for both the teenagers and their parents.

Family counseling starts by me providing a safe and structured space for open communication, allowing family members to express their thoughts, feelings, and concerns in a supportive environment. Family counseling helps identify and address negative patterns of interaction within the family system. I will facilitate discussions that explore problems within the family and guide the family towards healthier and more effective ways of relating to one another. During the counseling sessions, I will help facilitate growth, healing, and a stronger family bond, contributing to the overall happiness and functioning of the entire family.

Family therapy helps family members improve communication and resolve conflicts. I am trained in several evidence-based family therapies approaches. When conducting family therapy, I am treating the family unit not simply one person in the family. Therefore, I examine the family relationships, behaviors, and patterns and how those factors impact the functioning of the family.

Families are complex! Healing family problems can feel like untangling a giant hairball. That's because in some ways, it is. Your family is a network of 1:1 relationships. We first identify key conflict areas and then work to rebuild trust between individuals. Once understanding is restored, we bring it to a family level. Whether working with children, the marriage, in-laws, or siblings, the process remains similar. We get to the root of core emotions, untangling problems inhibiting communication and keeping us in negative cycles.

Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently dysregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking.

When individual challenges affect the family dynamics, it is important to work on healthy communication and better interactions to resolve tension and conflict. These challenges are sometimes better overcome in an objective and nonjudgmental environment. Learning tangible tools to navigate through ongoing and upcoming challenges are beneficial and helpful to achieve a harmony among individuals in the family unit.

Families are like the baby mobile that hangs over the crib. If you pull one character, the whole thing shakes. Our families are this connected, and if you can begin to understand the roles that everyone plays, you can look at yourself and engage the system differently. Most patterns are predictable in the family (though your family patterns are different than mine) but if you recognize this and can begin to observe yourself acting differently. This will have a huge impact and change the dynamics of the family. Many times we get frustrated when we focus on what we think one member should be doing or not doing, but the change (and the relief) occurs when we look at and change ourselves.

Having a healthy family with fulfilling relationships is very possible. Its normal to argue and fight with your family members but having a unified family full of meaningful connection is very possible. Relationships are difficult and require a lot of work. Every family is unique and once you are aware of what your family's patterns and dynamics are you can become a strong, healthy, fully connected unit.

Our families, if nothing else, play one of the most important roles in who we were, who we are, and who we will become whether we are with them or not. Learning to break free of hardwired response patterns in families can feel like trying to drive forwards when the car is in reverse. Family therapy is very different than traditional therapy- in a family session, the whole "family" is the client- meaning that no one person the focal point of change. It is our system, our patterns, that make or break how we engage, learn, and love one another. It is my hope that I can help your family create new bonds, heal old hurts, and learn to build a new system that supports each persons growth.
